These are the ones that the video store doesn't have 100 copies of and never makes it to the best renters section, but should.

Here's a few I like- Ancient Relic, Dragonfly, Rabbit Proof Fence, October Sky, Strangers In Good Company...

I wanna see Silent Hill too :)

A friend of my sister has TRON, on UMD format. Yesterday, I watched that movie, and I like it, I have never seen it

I need a way to convince mum into hiring Silent Hill for me.

I've never played a Silent Hill game, so the movie will do for now.

Yes, all my classmates say Silent Hill is the best terror game, I have never played it, it looks interesting, so I need to see the movie for convince me of buying the game.

You can tell your mom you need see Silent Hill because your teacher left you a homework about it :D . I'm a bad liar, I don't know if you can do it . . . yes, it's a bad plan :P

URGENT!! !!

Unless you actually want to be physically ill, do not see the Silent Hill movie! While it does make an effort to be a good game-to-film adaptation, the emphasis is more on gory horror, rather than psychological horror (like the games try to do). Lemme put it this way: there is a rather brutal "skinning" of someone, and the finale is difficult to watch without actually becoming physically ill. Lemme put it this way, I will NEVER look at barbed wire the same way again.

If you like horror movies to be as gory as possible, or if you are a die-hard Silent Hill fan, go see it, but be warned.

What is Silent Hill? Never heard of it.

Can't you find someplace online to download it? Did everyone know Walmart is now selling downloaded movies?

That skinning scene was my favorite part of the whole movie.

Heh. I've never seen gore in movies, as mum doesn't like it.

The main reason I want to see Silent Hill is because I can't get one of the games. :cry:

"Simon," a great comedy about a guy (Alan Arkin) who's brainwashed by a team of scientists (among them: the late Madeline Khan) into believing himself to be a space alien (the 'television cult' part is extremely funny, though I won't spoil it by giving away any details).
